May I have your opinion - Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L USM

Here are more reviews of the 35-350: http://www.fredmiranda​.com …oduct=15&sort=7​&thecat=27

Downside here would be the price ... it'S about $ 2200 at B+H.

Belmondo has this lens.. (28-300mmL IS )

If I may attempt to speek for him.. I recall distinctly that he loves the range.. but he felt it was NOT the optic equal of the 100-400mm L IS... despite being nearly double the cost of the 100-400mm

I'd like to add, that I think even my 100-400L is not razorblade sharp, also, it's slow. One nice day I'll sell it and buy the Sigma 120-300 f/2.8. This is practically the only zoom alternative. But I'd really really stay away from 35-350L. It's meant for a specific purpose (like, safari - plenty of light, or going somewhere where you cannot afford dragging a whole backpack of primes along with you, instead you just take one single lens), and I'd say the majority don't need this. In situations like that the image quality doesn't really need to be superb, good is good enough.
